Dirk Pulkowski (Ludwig-Maximilians-Universität, München) has posted Theoretical Premises of ‘Regionalism and the Unity of International Law’ on SSRN. Here is the abstract:
-
A principal concern of 20th century international lawyers was to ensure that international law would evolve from a selective jus publicum europaeum to a universal international legal order. The modern multilateral convention as a paradigm of global lawmaking, open for accession by any state, was no doubt one of the driving forces of the globalization and universalization of international law. Bruno Simma has thus called multilateral treaties the “workhorses of community interest”.
